For hand wired Zeniths a Weller station with the hottest

It seems that those with the most cash... and questionable ways of getting it... are the cheapest. Just about anything even they want, at estate sales for example, has to be under 10 bucks or it sits and is subsequently trashed.

The Hakko 936 was suggested to me but there are so many chinese knockoffs that I can't risk it.
